The Game claims he has a "Yonkers" flow. Kre8tor sounds just like The Game. And then I heard this.
"Suge here this, gon' wanna sign me to the payroll/But, I'ma say no, cuz I'm the next from Compton with a Yonkers flow"-Billboard.
He's from Blackwallstreet, too. This is incredibly wack. If you're West Coast, and rep West Coast, sound West Coast. How the fuck are you gonna come up from the West sounding just like you're Queens or Harlem?

I Could Give A Fuck About BWS lol :P

U shoudnt trip SGV. I'm pretty sure they are referring to Jadakiss, who is from Yonkers. It's a fact that 'kiss has an incredible flow. And he is famous for his flow. They are just sayin they got an incredible flow too. I don#t think flows depend on the area u grew up. This is bullshit.
I don't understand the point of all this hating. There ar not many rappers out there reppin COMPTON CALI & THE WSTCOAST more than Game. His lyrics are straight COMPTON gangsta shit, what else do u want?

I dunno, I think his lyrics are more YONKERS gangsta shit but he just so happens to be from Compton...not really hating cuz its cool to see anybody doing it bigg from the West right about now, but at the same time SGV I feel ya too we have our own West Coast style so its kind of a slap in the face, in a way, for someone from the West to rap with the basic textbook East Coast style.

Oh yeah I totally agree with you, Game's got skills but his style is a lot like the textbook East Coast style - textbook being the key word in this sentence. If I didnt know better based on his style I'd swear he was the newest artist coming out on Ruff Ryders or G-Unit...oh wait.....

Sven, they all sound like they're from New York. They all sound like Shyne.

Bein from L.A., I am not really offended but I do think it's suspect that they do rap with a yonkers flow. For one, it has NOTHING to do with Jadakiss. It means what they say, a yonkers flow, basically a NY flow because I can't tell yonkers from brooklyn to harlem flow.
But it's like this...I know not everyone from the west has to sound the same, but for one, I don't just like the west coast because that's where I am from. You probably don't agree, but I'd rather hear somebody from Chicago or milwaukee that had a dope flow, and I think the west coast has the dopest flow..than hear somebody from the west with a ny flow that ain't at all original and sounds like he's tryin to flow like hes from somewhere else.
I am from L.A. so I know that the only way to rap and with a new york accent is to practice that shit, or to grow up around a NY family, because it's no way you can get that accent bein in L.A. where our "accent" is completely different...and he bangs! Most bangers, especially bloods in compton, carry their own accent, and it's just natural, not somethin that you can try to have or imitate. But for him to come out soundin straight from ny isn't really an insult to us, but just very suspect and makes us ask "why?" I like west coast rappers mainly because of their flow, because their lyrics usually ain't about much as far as gangsta rappers. But yeah, he is talkin east coast shit too, just addin shit about gangbangin and sayin L.A. where a NY rapper would be sayin NY.

So it's cool to come with the typical east coast flow/style? In order to blow up on the west coast, you have to sound like you're from the east, right? Does that seem fair to you?

Even then that's suspect. My Pops was born and raised in NY until he was in his 30s then he came out here. His accent is strong. My Aunt, my uncle, my Grandparents, the same. They have/had heavy NY accents. I've never once picked up any traits of their accent. I mean, hey, if thats how you sound, so be it. But, it's suspect when 3 members of the same group have the same accent, being from L.A.

Thas another bad thing...if The Game does blow up, a lot of up coming west coast rappers are gonna be tryin to rap NY. I think the best thing about L.A. rappers is their flow/delivery, and if they end up tryin to rap NY, thas gonna take away some of what we do best in my opinion.
-
Big fuckin deal if they sound like the from NY...They DO NOT have an accent. I am from Boston I know the accent. Its rediculous that someone makes a big deal about havin a NY style. So by him being from Compton does he have to rap like every other West Coast Rapper..At least they rep Compton
-
I don't get why some are fussin' over something like this. "The Game sounds like he's from the East." Big - fuckin' - deal. Suddenly it's a crime to sound like something else than expected? A dumb ass reason to give a guy flack for. When I listen to somebody's flow, I only care about one thing - is the flow good or bad. Don't give a fuck if The Game "sounds like he's from the East."
-
^^^yeah but what if the record lables only started looking for west coast rappers that sound like east coast artist...that would suck...the west has their own sound...stick to that,i am a game fan i hope his gangsta raps are REAL and not braggin about stupid shit like the dipsets

The problem is that if he blows up, people will think the only way to get big on the West is if you have an East Coast style. In order for us to grow, we have to have our own sound. I'm not saying it has to be the same ol' West Coast style over and over again, but it has to be our own. The East & the South have theirs, why shouldn't we have ours?

Thank you. I have a feeling, if The Game becomes popular, L.A. rappers(and possibly the entire West) will start thinking "oh, well let me adapt the NY sounding voice etc." Pretty soon CA is gonna sound like NY. I DO NOT want that.
-
Big fuckin' deal if The Game sounds like he's from the East. The only about a flow I really pay attention to is whether it's good or bad - and that's the only thing that matters.

My thoughts exactly man...
But in a way, I understand why some people are getting a little irritated by it. I'm just glad the West will finally get some attention, try to look at it from that point of view!

Well, that's your opinion. I think The Game's whole style is wack. I'd much rather hear Crooked I, Sly Boogy, Dr. Stank, Dirty Birdy, etc.

Well I will put it like this....Say you are a "sold" customer on Ford's, and you like Fords more than any other company, but u like Toyotas as well. You like Ford's mainly because of what they've done in the past and what they still do....but their newest car, which is supposed to be one of their best in a while, is made just like a Toyota. Now it's a coo car, but you aren't gonna like it just because it's a Ford.
I donno if y'all are feelin the analogy or not, but thas exactly how I see it. I will support him bein he's from the west, but I am not gonna say I like him just because he's from the west, even tho he is good at what he does, because I like west coast artists because they make west coast music, not just because of where they were raised. Yeah he talks about Compton, but everything from his delivery style voice lyrics and all are extremely east coast, and I don't really dislike that but thas not what I am feelin as much. So to everybody sayin "It's not a big deal he sounds like hes from NY, does everybody have to sound the same" I see what u mean but personally I don't feel like that.

i still don't think it's a big deal,cuzz i be hearing yall say fucc majors all day,now yall like "if he get on,all labels gonna want an artist like that" shit if yall ain't fucc'n with them why does it fucc'n matter,if you are so underground who gives a shit,we all know how labels are haha, evidently yall want that checc like me,i'm feeling that,haha,i still wouldn't sound like no ny cat,but if the production is banging and i feel like rapping over it,and they gonna cut me a checc i'm doing it, shit game is cool,let cuzz do what he do yell

I hate the industry and in a way I am like fuck major labels...and this situation just gives me another reason to doubt their cred. Because G-Unit and Dre have overlooked many rappers who are better overall and still sound west coast...just to get the one who sells because he sounds NY, and because he's been shot. I am not hatin on him and I still support him, but in no time soon will I really like the fact he sounds so NY.
